7 chakras - a simple model of growth

my personal symbolic depiction

my interpretation of the chakras are as descending, "what does one want?", sacrifice to bring about power / ascending, developing love and compassion for others, (w)holistic understanding, concentration / the witness. The whole of the 7 equals non-dual realization. 6 is thing and 7 no-thing.

The base / root chakra which is all about survival. I recommend this practice; get a difficult grip training device and attach the magick idea that you can grab what ever the fuck you want or need. That its yours.Im trying it out. Ill let you know what its like to no longer fear survival. The second chakra, located at the pelvic top, is all about figuring out what you want and then getting some. Oh baby have fun! Go nuts! What do you want and why why why! The practice for this stage? Do nice things until they lose their novely and run dry. It happens to everything impermanent dont worry. What is the purpose of the question I am asking? A means to what ends? The third chakra (diagram on left), located in the navel, is all about power. Oh boy. This requires sacrifice of those yummy pleasures from the previous stage. the result though can be huge. The practice would be : o im not sure yet, though you bet ill design a dope one! The fourth chakra, located at the heart, is all about realizing the limits of caring only about ones self (ego / identity), to start to realize the common things all humans and being share, to realize how much more joy one can experience through others by learning to identify with the whole instead of ones limited part. Oh this is so primary and is said to automatically improve the first 3 completely, this is because for others so much more can be done, and ones survival, desires and urge for power are taken care of. So sexy. The practice would be tonglen or integral compassion meditation. Check out the injunctions page for both of them. The fifth chakra, located at the throat is about communication, reason, expression, logic, reason, discrimination, trial and error. Science. Objectivity. I figure that even all the good intentions of the fourth chakra are not enough for objective consequences must be measured. Feedback from the environment.

The sixth chakra is located between the eyes up a bit on the forehead. It is about realizing the limits of the intellect. Of duality. Of the impossibility of absolute truth from the mind. Intuition. It is about stilling the mind and learning to experience reality as it is. In this moment. It is about connecting to ones higher self. Inner Guru. Insight. Beyond the normal mind. Transrational. Silence. Peace.

The seventh chakra represents non-dual awareness. Which is the collapse of the subject-object duality. Me and you collapse into isness. Describing this is near impossible because words as a means of communication are in no way capable of explaining such experience. Not to mention the author at present is not living in such a state. In is a harmony of all that came before. A whole. Absolute. Perfect. Complete. Not Separate.

Seven Steps on the Spiral Staircase by Joshua Belisle - feb 20th, '13

Safe and secure, food and shelter at night, but still tempted and twisted by fleeting pain and delight.If seduced by power and sacrifice be done, one can ascend despite where thy come from.If understanding of others has frozen like stone, one may not feel compassion and often alone.Then when limits in communication are gracefully cleared then no-thing is required to proceed up the stairs.For one must go backwards through the darkest of nights, even without reason as one's companion flash-light.To let go of everything; terror must be as a result of a suffocating identity, for to be one with the Kosmos, full and complete, ne must be nothing, pure being freeFor you are the climber, the ladder, the view, a limited perspective novel and true.
